The Portage

6"x6" oil

I used a limited palette on this painting of Transparent Red Oxide, Pthalo Blue and Transparent Yellow with Zinc White.  I need to research the zinc white as someone told me it isn't a good choice.  I liked how clear the colors looked with that white as it isn't very opaque.  I also like the perspective on this view.

First Ride

8"x10" oil

I thought I would post the first stage of the painting with transparent paints and the finished product.  I wanted to capture that happy moment of wobbly success.
